Asuang is an umbrella term for creatures that people our imagination. As blood suckers, they engender in us, a fear of the dark, of morbidity, of paleness, of incense. The fear that desires, the fear that suffocates, not just creatures but open spaces and high places. Fear of beings that when looked at mirrors or through other eyes, resemble perhaps, ourselves? Then here maybe, there be monsters?

Asuang then calls not just for darkness but for hallucinogen, psychedelia, kaleidoscopic narratives in whatever genre.

Hi, I finally did an english version of my mini-zine woodchuck #1 from last summer (issue #2 is in the making).I like to call it "outdoor zine", because I usually spread it in the streets, parks and woods of my hometown, hiding it in hollow trees, under rocks and park benches(I check from time to time and "restock" if necessary).

It's about music (Kylesa, Les Savy Fav, Blue Note/Swing Kids,...), how not getting completly consumed and fucked up by your jobs and the mysteriously revolutionary organisation called The Red Squirrel Friends (and how you become a member...), which is also the official organ of that secret organisation;)

If you you are interested and like to swap, just put a note in my inbox!

Here in Newcastle upon Tyne, there's a mini comics day taking place on the 21st April at the city library. I can't stay for it, so I will be making my mini comic - style - zine as I travel to another country that day. But I want to feel I am still taking part, so :

I am arranging for any other minicomic-makers at the Newcastle event to post me their mini comic, and I will post my minicomiczine back to them from Malta. All will be made on that day, and if you too would like a copy of my 21st April travel-ish minicomiczine, just email me your address to oldglen at gmail.com

This is a very mini zine, just 2 inches square, all about tea. It comes in a little bag, with 2 stickers included. I'm going to be giving it away with my other, bigger zines, but if you fancy a trade, give me a yell :-)
